[Here we identify that Wnt2/beta-catenin signaling pathway is activated in ESCC cells, and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and siRNA against beta-catenin not only inhibit the expressions of beta-catenin and its major downstream effectors including c-myc and cyclin D1, but induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, suggesting that Wnt2/beta-catenin pathway may be a potential molecular target for ESCC therapy.].
